You probably figured it out, but the difference between BMP and PNG is that BMP is strictly RGB and PNG has an alpha channel for transparency (RGBA) and preserves data better than BMP.
@Mathew Longtime Awesome tutorials I cant believe how far I was able to get in just a few hours with terrain building and these tutorials. One thing I am confused on is how to import a real world satellite image for the sat_ico mask layer.
If you were building a map from scratch, do you edit the entire terrain in l3dt beforehand or do you do a lot in terrain builder? Like, say, I want a mountain, but I'm not sure precisely where I want it until I place an airfield (I want it beside the AF), would you build the mountain in l3dt, or just do it in terrain builder? How much bouncing back and forth do you do between them?
my p drive does not have as many things in it as yours, none of the dayz exes or anything? did i miss something? im stuck when you get to the part about the map legend as i dont seem to have that file??
when i go to export the map am at the part where you do control e and the export map comes up and you say to select xyz or asc those arent there i have amf and amf-gz and png and bmp so what one would i click on i understand this tutorial is 3 years old and new updates come with new and adjusted features but for now am stopped at this issue i dont want to proceed until you can give me advice on the correct option thanks and keep up the amazing videos
Hi! Please tell me I broke my whole head , I'm loading a Bulldozer , the ground is displayed in black . I don 't have the strength to fight it anymore ! I did it like in your lessons !
If you make changes to the higfield map, do you have then to regenerate the terrain and normal map? or better let them like that and work later on with mask? thank you
Hello there, great video, one thing i am missing here so far is the map legend, I extracted the game files via Mikero but I do not see the map legend png anywhere, any tips on how to get it?
thank you for the video!. I got one problem, may you have an ideas what the solution could be ;) when i log in, in game, open the Map with M, most of the building are not showing up on the map as those kind of grey shape. When I zoom in I can see for example castle and pubs, but no houses on map. May you got a tip? thank you!
With steps 20+, where do i have the config,cpp file at? I see it in the description, do i save it under source? My files matched the picture you had uploaded.
I'm puzzled .. extracted the game data however its not added the additional files .. theres no dayz launcher or any other files.. just the folders bin, core etc etc Also on the initial Tools screen there is Workbench N .. when I click on Workbench from the tools list it says the game isnt installed.. which is very weird as was playing it not 10 mins ago
Extract game data then when thats done you got back to where you click extract game data and there should be a option for mount p drive there you problem
After I get my pc. Have no clue when but I will make one soon as possible, I will make mostly likely I will make Arizona map or somewhere on west coast but I got question. Can you make your own house from scratch?
hi me again soryr to be a pain and thanks for getting back to me iv followd your youtube vid ,,to make my own map done that bit ok but when i press play it says it cant find world luke WRP ,,, luke is the name of my map,,, do you know what the reason for this is please or what im doing wrong,,,,i cant use mikero tools because the crunch option is grayd out and i cant press it also do you know why that is ? once again thankyou for your help @@MatthewLongtime
Having a slight issue. you get to a point where you save the map into your source file and move on to the next step in your config.cfg file. my issue is you didnt show where to go to get to said file and i cant locate it.
When opening dayz2p, i keep getting: "searching for mikero tools... mikero tools is not set in registry failed Steam/Mikero tools WILL NOT WORK until you fix this error [K]?" How do I fix this?
@@MatthewLongtime Yeah i did that. As you said in the video. Opened it up, joined an official server, ran around for like 10 minutes. Exited. Opened dayz2p. Got the same message.
@@MatthewLongtime Yeah i had the same thought. So i put the installer in both my C, S, X and P Drive to try and install from them. Same issue. Restarted the computer. Same issue. Deactived antivirus. Same issue.
Why is your playlist out of order..... why is everyone on youtube so fkn lazy with organization, mic volumes, and shit....I REALLY want to sub to yall but man....
Thank you! Even after four years it is relevant!

Thank you for your tutorial !
the BEST DayZ modding tutorials out there. clean, professional, to the point. Great work with your whole channel man!!
Would be great if i found a video how to setup terrain builder. Great channel mate !!!! My favo at the moment

Where did all the extra code come from for step 21
where do we save config.cpp?
you didnt say where to save the config file ... you show how to fill it out then end it there where do i save it ?

You import sat to satellite layer
You suddenly go on with the config file steps but I do not have a config.cpp in my custom map folder? Am I missing a few steps?
Nevermind I see the config.cpp pastebin link in desc!

Generate layers
If you make changes to the higfield map, do you have then to regenerate the terrain and normal map? or better let them like that and work later on with mask? thank you
Yea regen
I cant get my text document to turn into a .cfg. I create Text Document then crtlA and type in layers.cfg and click enter and nothing happens.
in file explorer go to the view tab and enable file name extensions
at layers.cfg.. you say Ctrl + A or what ??
how can i generate a satellite image for my height map its a custom height map from terrain party
you cant check out my new qgis video you can with this tool ruclips.net/video/zXY4fR9NPck/видео.html
Give me feedback so i can make the best EVER series!

Do you prefer this method or the qgis method that you explained a few months after
Qgis method works 90 % of the time. Also a lot more accurate and detailed. Other way is sorta dodgy now
im stuck at 6.56 (maplegends) i dont have this in my p drive what am i supposed to do from this point thanks very much !
Get it from discord server 👍

Thank you I will have a look

Anywhere you put it normally in folder

Thank you
What to do if the terrain party wont export the height map
Use qgis i got a vid on it

Notepad++
@@MatthewLongtime thanks dude
Does all of this work on arma 3?
Yea
My dayz tools workbench doesnt work, the status at the bottom is a red N and when launched it says Game not installed... Exiting; Any ideas.
Why are you launching the work bench you don't need it for this tutorial. But if you look in settings change the path to where your game is installed
